Love From The Shadows (Book 2)

New Home

I was led to the leader by Jean and I made it to the leader's business room and I waited there for him, after a few minutes the leader appeared a little rushed and said:

-Hello Reckzy, sorry for the delay I was in a really important meeting please take a sit-

I sat down on the chair in front of his desk calmed with my hidden blade ready for action and said:

-What do you want from me speak NOW!!-

He said laughing:

-First of all calm down, here have a sip (gives me a cup with a drink)-

I looked at him and said

-What is this?-

He goes serving a cup for him and says

-It's new here it's called hot cocoa, you should give it a try

I drink it having a horrible taste and said:

-Blah, I don't know I didn't like that very much-

He laughs and says:

-I see, anyways let's talk why we are here -

I put on a serious face and I lowering my guard as I reply

-Right, tell me what's happening?-

-Okay, Reckzy as you know Serity is in bad shape and there's nothing we can do at the moment besides killing targets, we need you to not only lead the most skilled squad I have but to join us to the quest to save Serity and end the horrible slavery. You have a gift Reckzy, we could definitely use you and your skills to make this place a better one for the future. We will not only use your skills but here you will have a new family. You will have good not betraying partners at your side that will give their life to protect you, you can be our center piece. We definitely need you to move forward to our plans and this time, we will give you name, information and everything on our targets to make sure you're making the right choice. You will be regrouped with the Skilled "Dead Eye" and 3 of the best assassins out there, Our gadgets and technology is centuries ahead of our times to give you the most advance assassin gadgets in the whole region... So, what do you say Reckzy? Will you join us?-

-I'm pretty convinced that this will be my new home but, I had one more question: -I know the problem with the slaves, but I didn't became an assassin for them. I became an assassin for Elizabeth, other problems for me are secondary meaning that I need to find Elizabeth first regardless the situation. If you help me get Elizabeth I will work for you. Do we have a Deal?-

He was pretty thoughtful but smiled at me and said:

-Sure I understand clearly.-

Then we shake hands to make the deal and I get out the room meeting everyone in the hideout to have more friends and there were like 50 assassins in the hideout separated of squads of 5 us being the Obscurité Squad Now the leader was going to make an official announcement and gather around everyone in the hideout and made a toast saying:

-Today, we have made an amazing step recruiting one of the most skilled Assassins this Region has ever come across to be our friend and family, not only will he help us he will lead us to victory now give Reckzy a big welcome-

As I step forward I hear the assassins giving me a big applause for my hard work and dedication I was about to say something but the leader grabbed my shoulder and said:

-Give it your best-

I quickly hear the assassins going quiet as I was about to speak and I say:

-Hello fellow Assassins, today I am here not to be applause or to be treated like a god, I may have skill but I'm like you all...human, I want you to not get scared of me because I'm not here to intimidate anyone but to make friends and a new family, I have lost many people I loved but in the end no one is coming back and their sacrifice will not be in vain. I'm really happy with this organization and I'm really happy I get to work on my goal of rescuing the one I love. Thank you everyone! CHEERS!-

I sat down at the leader's side and said:

-So, what do you think?-

He looked at me, stood up and said

-I have one more Announcement to make, if anything happens to me the leader of this organization will be Reckzy regardless what happens-

He sat down again and said to me:

-Pretty good huh?-

I, surprised said to him smiling:

-Thank you, this really means a lot-

He looks at me says:

-No, thank you Reckzy, you gave us something to believe for and it's time for us to take a move forward and with the decision you made it's definitely happening, and soon you will see your Elizabeth When I we get the information on her location we will find her and get her....oh and happy birthday Reckzy.-

I smiled and took a bite of my bread and said really happy:

-Ummm thanks...this is so yummy-

The leader laughed and said:

-You really liked it? I made it!-

-It's so tasty!-

I eat it really fast and the leader looks at me astonished and I said:

-I was hungry...-

The leader and the assassins started laughing and said:

-Of course you are!-

I started laughing with them having fun after all I went through, after that they indicated me to my room and I went to take some sleep for preparations tomorrow. I still needed to talk to Tanaka and get ready for my first mission, let us see how everything goes...
